I Never Did Finish That Song - Don Bowman[00:00:00]
Oh he never did finish that song[00:00:01]
Their parents would never let them marry[00:00:09]
Coz she came from the wrong side of town[00:00:12]
In a final embrace you could see them standing[00:00:15]
There on the ledge looking down[00:00:19]
They vowed they would always be together[00:00:22]
And that neither would ever love again[00:00:25]
So holding each other[00:00:29]
So tightly they kissed they kissed and then[00:00:30]
And then the telephone rang I broke a guitar string[00:00:37]
And a friend with a bottle came along[00:00:42]
We both got a little high started telling lies[00:00:46]
I never did finish that song[00:00:50]
Though I never did finish that song[00:00:53]
Johnny was the pride of the beach[00:01:00]
All the surfer girls knew him on sight[00:01:03]
It seemed like everything was going his way[00:01:06]
Till that dark and fateful night[00:01:09]
He swam out to where the big breakers were[00:01:12]
And started to ride the waves in[00:01:15]
For the first time he noticed[00:01:18]
The ship in his path ha ha[00:01:20]
He waved to the crowd and then[00:01:23]
And then the stove blew up[00:01:27]
This big huge Mack truck came crashing[00:01:29]
Right through my chartreuse wall[00:01:33]
Clock struck ten and the whole roof caved in[00:01:36]
And I never did finish that song[00:01:40]
Really never did finish that song[00:01:43]
Ole Jed was a faithful hired man[00:01:50]
For years he plowed the old farm[00:01:53]
With the wrinkles of time etched in his face[00:01:57]
And a hula girl etched on his arm[00:02:01]
But old age had made Jed careless[00:02:05]
And his years finally came to an end[00:02:08]
He walked behind a mule[00:02:11]
That he thought was tame the mule took aim and then[00:02:14]
And then the sky got black the windows cracked[00:02:20]
And a big tornado come along[00:02:25]
Oh the whole house rocked landlord knocked[00:02:29]
And I never did finish that song[00:02:32]
Know I never did finish that song[00:02:36]
I promised myself when I started this song[00:02:43]
That I'd write it all the way to the end[00:02:48]
But I never did[00:02:52]
